Roger,
Glad to hear you are up and running after your move.

I'll add this to the Wish List. I've spent so much in preparation for trip to NSL that I better cool it until after the event.

Any chance you are attending?

Mine landed in Montana today.
I am very impressed with the quality of the kit components and some of the best illustrated instructions also. What impressed me the most was the true end cuts of the tubing, unlike some of the imported kits.

Thank you Dewalt!
Roger didn't mention the body tubes are thick walled BT-50s.
All the tubes are hand cut by me.

When you get to the painting and decals pages of the instructions be sure to double check the step numbers.
The first sets of instructions have the last page flipped! It has been corrected in the new batch of kits.

Hi Neil,
i use my old Odd'l Rockets "CUTTER" tool.
At one time I made these for sale but they are difficult to make.
I don't have any more Cutter units for sale.

It is based on the old Kuhn style tube cutter.
North Coast Rocketry sells a Kuhn style cutter.
